It was truly wonderful. The price was reasonable, but the quality was by no means lacking. The maiko, Fuku, was very kind and beautiful. It was a valuable experience. My family and I are discussing wanting to visit again with a different plan.
本当に素晴らしいものでした。お手頃価格ですが、決して内容が雑というわけではなく、舞妓さんのふく那さんがとても優しく美しく。。貴重な体験が出来ました。また違うプランでお邪魔したいと家族で話しています。

I used the sunset cruising service during my trip to Okinawa. The reservation was easy, and the food was really delicious. Since it was my child's birthday, I ordered a cake, and they surprised us by bringing it out. There was also live music, which made for a fun time. Thank you very much. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

There was a mistake about the time of the reservation. I booked for 6pm and we waited for over an hour because the 6pm dinner cruise was not available. Apparently only the 7 pm dinner cruise is available on weeknights. Veltra did confirm our booking at 6 though. There was definitely a disconnect.
Once we got onto the boat, things were good. We had a good time and the atmosphere was fun.

The maiko from Miyagawa-cho, "Fuku Yori," from the tea house and lodging, came to visit us. We enjoyed a delightful time together while eating a catered lunch box and experiencing the charm of a "real" maiko.
Dressed in elegant attire, she performed two beautiful dances (this time, "Seasons of Kyoto" and "Gion Kouta"). She even answered questions about being a maiko. While not everyone participated, some got to enjoy the experience of a tea house play (Kompeito Funafuna) and feel like a wealthy patron. Plus, photography was free, and we even got to take two-shot photos together!
If you're visiting Kyoto, this is a must-do! It's an event that's accessible even for first-timers, so I highly recommend it to everyone!
Lastly, unlike the occasional fake maiko you might see, the real maiko are rigorously trained in manners and etiquette, so their presence and atmosphere are truly different from what you'd expect from teenagers!
舞妓さんは宮川町 堀八重(お茶屋兼置屋)の”ふく友梨”さんが来てくれて、昼食の仕出し弁当を食べながら”ホンモノ”の舞妓さんと楽しいひと時をすごさせて貰いました。
華麗な装いで、たおやかな舞を二曲も(今回は「京の四季」と「祇園小唄」)披露してもらえて、舞妓さんに関する質問にも答えてもらえたり・・・全員ではないですがお茶屋遊び(こんぴら舟々)でお大尽気分を味わえたり?・・・それに撮影フリーですし、おまけに2ショットまで撮ってもらえちゃいます~!
京都に来たらコレでしょッ!!・・・ってくらい初めてって方にも敷居の低いイベントなので皆さんも是非ぃ~~♪
最後に:たまに見かけるなんちゃって舞妓と違ってホンモノの舞妓さんは行儀作法からして厳しく指導されてるので、とても10代とは思えぬほどに佇まいからして雰囲気が違いますよ!

Tickets were waiting for us so we could skip the line. The event it self was totally worth it. We got decent seats, not the best...we booked 2 weeks in advance so I'd recommend booking earlier if you want the good seats.
Tea ceremony was worth it, it's a bit rushed and can't see much if you're not in the first 2 rows, so try to wait by the entrance to be the first ones in. You get a small amount of good matcha, a little sweet thing and you get to keep the saucer the it's served on.
We didn't pay any extra free for booking via Veltra so props to Veltra for this!
10/10 would book through Veltra again.

This was an amazing experience even without understanding Japanese. The Geiko and Meiko performed dance/acting performance to a set theme and live music is also played. Some of the stage backdrops were very beautiful as well. At the end they threw signed a fabric with all the names of the performers out and we were lucky enough to catch one. I highly recommend going to a performance like this at least once!

This is legit, I printed voucher from home and presented it in Gion Kaikan 30 mins before tea ceremony and show. Tickets and seats were prepared and got good seats.
Show was okay, would've been better if they talked about the geisha culture prior to show start. Tea ceremony is okay, it's a classroom type arrangement and the geisha/maiko doesn't necessarily serve you.

My friend and I attended a performance of Gion Odori at the 1:30pm time on a Sunday. Getting to the theater is easy and there is nearby parking for anyone driving.
Upon arrival the ticket office immediately recognized us as having reservations (maybe it was me fumbling with the confirmation email) and produced our tickets and sent us into the theater almost instantly. The lovely usher sat us and we had the good fortune to get really good seats and they were together. The theater was quite packed so definitely get there on time.
The dance itself was very interesting. The free little flyer we got before entering the theater does give a little explanation on each dance in English, but it was a little sparse so try to do a little research before coming if you really want to understand the stories.
Otherwise, it was a full hour from entering to leaving of gorgeous dancing, costumes, and sets, with the traditional music accompaniment really clinching the feel of authenticity. If you're in town, definitely try to catch this performance!

Visiting Hōryū-ji and Chūgū-ji individually often took a lot of time to move to Nishi no Kyō afterward. It was impossible to reach Tōshōdai-ji in one day. There were times when I arrived at Nishi no Kyō Station and it was already 5 PM! It was disappointing.
However, the regular sightseeing bus tours allowed for a leisurely visit, and in addition, enjoying tea while viewing the garden at Jikō-in added one more delight to my experience in Nara. This time, I visited in autumn before the leaves changed color; next time, I would like to experience Nara in winter with its snowy scenery, and in spring with fresh greenery, all through this tour.
法隆寺・中宮寺を個人で拝観し、その後西の京への移動は時間が掛ることが多かった。唐招提寺まで一日では無理。ある時は西の京駅に着いたら、もう5時!
残念というときもありました。
さすがに、定期観光バスのツアーそれぞれがゆっくり拝観できたことに加え、慈光院でお庭を見ながらのお茶、奈良の楽しみが一つ増えました。今回は紅葉前の秋、次は、雪景色の冬、新緑の春など季節に彩られた奈良をこのツアーで味わってみたいものです。

We went on the Yakatabune Dinner Cruise in late October 2018. The directions to the port were clear and easy to follow. Very easy to get to via the subway (Oedo Line - Kachidoki station). I made sure I printed the Veltra voucher emailed to me. When I got to the pier, I showed the attendant the voucher and he directed us to the boat.
Once everyone boarded, they explained everything in Japanese and English (although the English was not great, it was understandable). The food served was delicious. I tried some new things I would never have ordered if I were to pick from a menu. The food kept coming, they served six types of tempura, and it was filling. All you can drink beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) was good too. We had several rounds of sake.
At several locations the boat stopped for picture taking upstairs above the main eating area. It was nice that this was an option. Several people went upstairs to take in the sights during the dinner. The party I was with enjoyed ourselves and the meal, it looked like the other parties enjoyed themselves as well.
If I had the chance, I would go again and would specifically seek the Harumiya Yakatabune cruise because of the wonderful experience

I wanted to create a memorable item for my wedding anniversary with my husband, so I participated in this experience. It started with choosing a glass, and there were so many options that I could select my favorite. The experience included proper practice and clear explanations, which made me feel very at ease. I had no worries about cutting my fingers while handling the blades, so I could work comfortably. The adjustments were challenging, but if anything came up, the instructor was there to help, resulting in a very satisfying finished product. Choosing a difficult design took a bit longer, but they were very attentive without rushing me, and at the end, I was able to take photos at a beautifully lit spot that looked great for Instagram. When I posted the photos on Instagram, I received many inquiries from friends asking where I did this. Given the level of satisfaction, the price is very reasonable!
主人との結婚記念日に何か思い出の品を作りたいと思い、参加させていただきました。グラス選びから始まりましたが、種類もたくさんあり、好きなものを選ぶことができました。体験は練習もきちんとあって説明もわかりやすく、とても安心できました。刃を触っても指が切れたりする心配が全くないので安心して作業を行うことができます。加減は難しいですが、何かあったら先生が手直しもしてくださるので、とても満足できる物が仕上がりました。難しい柄を選んだことで少し時間がかかってしまいましたが、急かすこともなく丁寧に対応していただけましたし、最後にインスタ映えしそうなライトアップした撮影スポットでの撮影もさせていただけました。写真をインスタに載せると、友達からどこでやったのかとたくさん聞かれました。この満足度でこの値段はとてもお安いです!

The maiko was "Toshinami" from "Komaya" in Miyagawacho! She made her debut last November and is a first-year maiko... so innocent and adorable~♪ ^ ^ She came to our table to teach us about the tea ceremony when I was a bit lost, and she gracefully performed two songs: the classic "Gion Kouta" and "Momiji no Hashi" using a fan (though I was a bit unsure about that one). She also answered all our questions thoroughly, and during photo sessions, she was happy to respond to pose requests, making it a great value for the experience. So, for those of you who might think it's a bit intimidating (especially women), I highly recommend it!

I attended a performance for the first time in June. The pre-show explanation provided an overview of the flow and the comedic moments, making it easy to get into the experience. After the show, the actors added further explanations, which deepened my understanding. There was also a photo opportunity, and during the part where the story was expressed through a traditional play, when I requested a ghost, they creatively acted it out, making for a very enjoyable time. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't that time this time. I will invite different friends to go see it again. Ten people might be difficult, though! (*^.^*)
